Crisis Averted!
We're leaving our hostel in Brussels shortly, making a quick visit at the Palace, then heading back to the train station for our 8ish hour trip to Munich.
Brussels itself was much smaller, but much awesomer than we expected considering we had only heard bad things about it. We were perpetually lost, but found a bustling market (where all the people in the city apparently were - the rest of the city was dead), and stumbled upon the most beautiful square (Grand Place) by accident due to our exceptionally poor map-reading skills. Pictures still to come.
We potentially had no place to sleep tonight because I screwed up our hostel bookings for Munich, but have sorted that out. We're also going to unfortunately be spending our train trip in a smoking car because it's a religious holiday in Germany today, so there were no reservations left in the non-smoking cars. Ah well, I'll have my puffer handy :)
More later! Having a blast overall!!!

How could a city with a food named after it be bad? I mean, granted brussel sprouts aren't the most tasty treat, but they're food none the less! = )
